So I was driving to get my car aligned today and suddenly it wont go past 3 grand, wont make boost.

and then later when I get home I realize there is a huge puddle of oil under my car.... barely enough oil left on the dipstick. sooo im going to assume the worst here and say the turbo is shot?

forgot to put the oil return line crack right open which is why oil was pissing out everywhere.....

Hopefully you didnt starve the motor of oil! You might have bigger problems.

Pull the turbo and take it apart would be the only way to really know. What kind of turbo was it? Ball Bearing?
